HISTORY OF GRAPHICS AND ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

Compare Traditional and Digital Graphics

Traditional art is art that is part of a culture of a certain group of people, with skills and knowledge passed down through generations from masters to apprentices. But, in short, the term Classical Art refers to, basically, all kinds of art that existed before Modern Art, before the Modernist Movement. And Digital Graphics A Digital Graphic is an image or visual representation of an object. They are graphics displayed on a computer screen. And are made by a smart device for example a computer or phone. Examples of digital graphics are memes, posters, logos and can also be used by game or brand developers to show certain ideas before they go ahead to make Digital graphics are used in a variety of areas such as education advertisement and because these are very easy to give out concise.

HISTORICAL ARTIST IN PAINTING

1. Leonardo Da Vinci, Mona Lisa,

1503-19

Painted between 1503 and 1517, Da Vinci's alluring portrait has been dogged by two

questions since the day it was made: Who's the subject and why is she smiling? A

number of theories for the former have been proffered over the years: That she's the

wife of the Florentine merchant Francesco di Bartolomeo del Giocondo (ergo, the

work's alternative title, La Gioconda); that she's Leonardo's mother, Caterina,

conjured from Leonardo's boyhood memories of her; and finally, that it's a self-

portrait in drag. As for that famous smile, its enigmatic quality has driven people

crazy for centuries. Whatever the reason, Mona Lisa's look of preternatural calm

comports with the idealized landscape behind her, which dissolves into the distance

through Leonardo's use of atmospheric perspective.

2. Johannes Vermeer, Girl with a Pearl

Earring, 1665

Johannes Vermeer's 1665 study of a young woman is startlingly real and startlingly

modern, almost as if it were a photograph. This gets into the debate over whether or

not Vermeer employed a pre-photographic device called a camera obscura to create

the image. Leaving that aside, the sitter is unknown, though it's been speculated that

she might have been Vermeer's maid. He portrays her looking over her shoulder,

locking her eyes with the viewer as if attempting to establish an intimate connection

across the centuries. Technically speaking, Girl isn't a portrait, but rather an example

of the Dutch genre called a tronie-a headshot meant more as still life of facial

features than as an attempt to capture a likeness.

3. Vincent van Gogh, The Starry Night,

1889

Vincent Van Gogh's most popular painting, The Starry Night was created by Van

Gogh at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, where he'd committed himself in 1889. Indeed,

The Starry Night seems to reflect his turbulent state of mind at the time, as the night

sky comes alive with swirls and orbs of frenetically applied brush marks springing

from the yin and yang of his personal demons and awe of nature.

4. Gustav Klimt, The Kiss, 1907-1908

Opulently gilded and extravagantly patterned, The Kiss, Gustav Klimt's fin-de-siècle

portrayal of intimacy, is a mix of Symbolism and Vienna Jugendstil, the Austrian

variant of Art Nouveau. Klimt depicts his subjects as mythical figures made modern

by luxuriant surfaces of up-to-the moment graphic motifs. The work is a highpoint of

the artist's Golden Phase between 1899 and 1910 when he often used gold leaf-a

technique inspired by a 1903 trip to the Basilica di San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy, where

he saw the church's famed Byzantine mosaics.

5. Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of

Venus, 1484-1486

Botticelli's The Birth of Venus was the first full-length, non-religious nude since

antiquity, and was made for Lorenzo de Medici. It's claimed that the figure of the

Goddess of Love is modeled after one Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci, whose favors

were allegedly shared by Lorenzo and his younger brother, Giuliano. Venus is seen

being blown ashore on a giant clamshell by the wind gods Zephyrus and Aura as the

personification of spring awaits on land with a cloak. Unsurprisingly, Venus attracted

the ire of Savonarola, the Dominican monk who led a fundamentalist crackdown on

the secular tastes of the Florentines. His campaign included the infamous "Bonfire

of the Vanities" of 1497, in which "profane" objects-cosmetics, artworks, books-

were burned on a pyre. The Birth of Venus was itself scheduled for incineration, but

somehow escaped destruction. Botticelli, though, was so freaked out by the incident

that he gave up painting for a while.

6. James Abbott McNeill Whistler,

Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1,

1871

Whistler's Mother, or Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1, as it's actually titled,

speaks to the artist's ambition to pursue art for art's sake. James Abbott McNeill

Whistler painted the work in his London studio in 1871, and in it, the formality of

portraiture becomes an essay in form. Whistler's mother Anna is pictured as one of

several elements locked into an arrangement of right angles. Her severe expression

fits in with the rigidity of the composition, and it's somewhat ironic to note that

despite Whistler's formalist intentions, the painting became a symbol of

motherhood.

7. Jan van Eyck, The Arnolfini Portrait,

1434

One of the most significant works produced during the Northern Renaissance, this

composition is believed to be one of the first paintings executed in oils. A full-length

double portrait, it reputedly portrays an Italian merchant and a woman who may or

may not be his bride. In 1934, the celebrated art historian Erwin Panofsky proposed

that the painting is actually a wedding contract. What can be reliably said is that the

piece is one of the first depictions of an interior using orthogonal perspective to

create a sense of space that seems contiguous with the viewer's own; it feels like a

painting you could step into.

8. Hieronymus Bosch, The Garden of

Earthly Delights, 1503-1515

This fantastical triptych is generally considered a distant forerunner to Surrealism. In

truth, it's the expression of a late medieval artist who believed that God and the Devil,

Heaven and Hell were real. Of the three scenes depicted, the left panel shows Christ

presenting Eve to Adam, while the right one features the depredations of Hell; less

clear is whether the center panel depicts Heaven. In Bosch's perfervid vision of Hell,

an enormous set of ears wielding a phallic knife attacks the damned, while a bird

beaked bug king with a chamber pot for a crown sits on its throne, devouring the

doomed before promptly defecating them out again. This riot of symbolism has

been largely impervious to interpretation, which may account for its widespread

appeal

9. Georges Seurat, A Sunday

Afternoon on the Island of La Grande

Jatte, 1884-1886

Georges Seurat's masterpiece, evoking the Paris of La Belle Epoque, is actually

depicting a working-class suburban scene well outside the city's center. Seurat often

made this milieu his subject, which differed from the bourgeois portrayals of his

Impressionist contemporaries. Seurat abjured the capture-the-moment approach of

Manet, Monet and Degas, going instead for the sense of timeless permanence found

in Greek sculpture. And that is exactly what you get in this frieze-like processional of

figures whose stillness is in keeping with Seurat's aim of creating a classical

landscape in modern form.

10. Pablo Picasso, Les Demoiselles

d'Avignon, 1907

The ur-canvas of 20th-century art, Les Demoiselles 'Avignon ushered in the modern

era by decisively breaking with the representational tradition of Western painting,

incorporating allusions to the African masks that Picasso had seen in Paris's

ethnographic museum at the Palais du Trocadro. Its compositional DNA also

includes El Greco's The Vision of Saint John (1608-14), now hanging in the

Metropolitan Museum of Art. The women being depicted are actually prostitutes in a

brothel in the artist's native Barcelona.

HISTORY OF GRAPHIC DESIGN : RECREATE OF RENAISSANCE ART

Hello guys this is my entry from my subject "History of graphic design" recreate the Renaissance art to Digital art, the painting thatI recreate is Mona Lisa (Modern Mona Lisa) 

The Mona Lisa is a half-length portrait painting by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. Considered an archetypal   masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, it has been described as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world
